Model Loader for UML [message #259743]

Is there a separate Model Loader for UML (EMF types)? The challenge with
ECore is that Components become EClass on transformation.

Assuming you are using JET, UML models are loaded using the same model
loader as EMF models.

The EMF model loader loads a UML model using the UML2 APIs - the resulting
objects are 'real' org.eclipse.uml2.uml objects.

XPath expressions against UML objects work as if 'attribute' steps (i.e.
@someName) are calling the corresponding getSomeName() method, while
'child' steps (someOtherName) are calling List getSomeOtherName() methods.

In addition, if you have a child step such as $someVar/Class, this will be
interpreted as finding all Class instances contained by the object(s)
referred to by the variable $someVar.

Lastly, some new JET XPath functions (available in the 1.0 release) make
it easier for you to access stereotypes:
